Mamonde Rose Water Toner 250 ml- My New found Love



Do you like to use toners like me?Well then,allow me to recommend a very nice product that I have recently bought which I find very nice and effective.My new found love- The Mamonde Rose Water Toner!











According to the product description, this contains 90.89% Damask Rose Water thus gentle and moisturizing for daily use as an everyday toner.It is a clear liquid toner that smell faintly of roses.

Oooh,I really love this toner because as claimed it is really hydrating and gentle on my oily-combination face.And I adore the subtle smell of roses,err, damask roses because it is not irritating to the nose and truly makes the toner phase of my beauty regimen enjoyable.I can't help but take a whiff whenever I put some on my cotton ball and the smell is just divine!

As I am not familiar with this Damask rose thingy (and what makes this different from all other roses I knew and saw), I looked over internet sources and found this picture of this rose plant:

I have read that Damask roses,the good source of rose essential oils are raised in Bulgaria, a world-famous rose-growing district.This has been used as skin toner due to its excellent calming and moisturizing effect.

Not much of a discovery there really because I think I have encountered this plant in somebody else's garden before and even plucked some for my granny ages ago.Anyways,it's the idea that these roses make the main ingredient of this product made the search worth while.:)
  

So the packaging is in a clear and sturdy 250 ml pinkish bottle with a white cap.When I say sturdy,it really is because I dropped this twice already,but it never breaks.It is sealed shut with a neatly placed foil to prevent spillage when brand new like other Korean toners if you are able to try one. Externally,it is not packaged in a box but sealed with a pink tape on top of the bottle.By the way this is also available in a 500 ml bottle:-)

Right now, my bottle is at its 80% full after three weeks of continuous use since it arrived from Korea.So this will last me a long time.As to the authenticity, I am pretty sure that this is  a genuine item from Mamonde because I purchased it from Saesil ParknShop who is a seller of authentic Korean beauty items from Korea.She resells Korean Beauty Cosmetics on an order basis from various brands direct from Korea, with the most recent sale promotions every now and then.She also provides generous freebies with your purchases.If interested,you may want to visit her shop on Facebook through this link

Lucky for me that with my love for  this toner, I got this at a Buy 1 + 1 promotion at Php 840.It's a bit much of an amount you might say but it's worth every peso for me since at 420 a 250 ml bottle, it's a very good skincare product and at last I found another good toner after consuming my Innisfree Rose Clear Skin which was also a good but I believe was already discontinued.Aside from using this as a toner,I've read somewhere that this can also be used as a face mist.:)

So cheers everyone!This is my first product from Mamonde and I am looking forward to trying out some other items from their company till next time I used up what's in my arsenal:)Thanks for reading!Till next time!
